Declare g to be persistent inside function vv().  It will be initialized to 1 
and then retain its previous value between successive calls to vv().  Refer to 
section 7.2 of the manual for more details.

function vv
        global cc;
        persistent g = 1;
        cc(g)=g*2;
        g++;
endfunction
